Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse - **Selected version:** 2.7.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The postinstall hook performs automatic user-level Python dependency installation, an unresolved install-time side effect that warrants a warning. The inspected sources otherwise show vendor-aligned binary setup and no concrete malicious attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T08:41:19.170Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T08:41:46.276Z - **Download time:** 774 ms - **Static scan time:** 38 ms - **AI review time:** 26294 ms - **Total time:** 27106 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The automatic install hook adds Python packages to the user's Python environment and sets up the vendor's platform binary. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook; Python package installation occurs when python3 is available. - **Impact:** This changes the user's Python environment without a separate setup command. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T08:41:46.276Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes pip with user-level and system-package override options to install toothfairyai, pydantic, httpx, and rich. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs automatic user-level Python dependency installation, an unresolved install-time side effect that warrants a warning. The inspected sources otherwise show vendor-aligned binary setup and no concrete malicious attack behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, bin/tfcode.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest automatically runs postinstall.mjs during package installation., That hook uses pip with --user and --break-system-packages to install several Python packages when Python is available., The hook also links or copies the matching ToothFairyAI platform binary into this package's bin directory. - **Evidence against:** The launcher selects a platform-specific ToothFairyAI binary and passes command-line arguments and the current environment to it., The inspected JavaScript contains no credential collection or network-send behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @toothfairyai/tfcode@2.7.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @toothfairyai/tfcode@2.7.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
